    The Bulls on Tuesday officially will announce they have declined to match Omer Asik's three-year, $25.1 million offer sheet from the Rockets, sources said, paving the way for multiple signings that began Monday with Kirk Hinrich.

    Because the Bulls used a portion of the $5 million midlevel exception for Hinrich and the biannual exception to sign Bellinelli, it's impossible for the Bulls to match even Asik's $5 million starting salary and stay below the hard cap of $74.3 million. They will pay the luxury tax for the first time in franchise history.

    Can you name ten teams that we are better than? Keep in mind that teams with little experience almost never win in this league.

    The 2 spots that require experience were have hemmed up with experienced youthfulness. 2, 3, 4, are what is easiest to develop.

    Asik can't turn out like Gortat if his life depended on it. Gortat is super athletic for his size, he has an offensive game, is more polished on defense and his skill-set overall is miles ahead of Asik. If you're expecting Asik to have the same success as Gortat you will be severely disappointed.
